Am quite interested but dealers all say end Nov before I can see one.

Kev, Autocruise has just been taken over/bought by Swift, so perhaps if you contact them, they will be able to tell you if there is one viewable anywhere.
It sounds like us from Jan-July trying to see a Tribute 650.... thank goodness we didn't order it on our 5 min look at Shepton Mallet - it seemed good, but it was too busy for us to really look, and being on the Chelston stand we thought it wasn't a problem, we could pop down the road to see it.... we waited and waited, and ended up driving down to Paignton to see it....and then decided it was OFF our list...am I glad having read so much about it on here, I went armed...and it was all true.

I'm Steve Trossell, Swift Group Product Director and temporarily in charge of Autocruise sales. The info you have from dealers is right - production of the new Tempo will start soon and deliveries to dealers should start end of November. It will take a little time before all dealers have them so please check before travelling. Sales at the NEC show for the Tempo and Rhythm (rear lounge with long beds) were exceptional so the delivery date for new orders is now end April. We plan to increase production but this will not start to have an impact until after April.
Regards, Steve

Well Steve, nobody can accuse Swift Group managers of not getting up early in the morning
If you're looking at the Autocruise website at any time you might like to address one 'oddity'. When you log on to the home page you can't find a list of layouts, you have to go through each model and then request a page of which features each layout. That's fine for the anoraks who know which model name is which, but an average potential buyer would surely prefer to browse layouts and then click on those that fit their needs.

I saw the van very briefly at the York Show just as the show was about to close. Had a quick walk through and it looked very nice. I am not sure about the windows though, whether there is enough ventilation as not many opening windows and they are tinted too which is good on a sunny day but don't know what light you would get in the van on a miserable day like today, and are they double glazed? the autosleeper warwick/symbol windows look to be similar.

Having looked at the Peugeot van website, I believe that the Autosleeper Warwick is based on the 'Windowvan' rather than a panel van so those tinted windows are 'Peugeot . Fiat / Citroen; not fitted by the converter .... I could of course be wrong............
The Autocruise does not have the same windows as Tempo which has one window in the SLD and no others on the nearside.
I have found that the Autocruise kitchens are, in most models, of the best available and it is very disappointing to see that the Tempo has that dreadful 'style over function' clip on plastic draining board instead of a fixed sink / drainer.
I need a brick wall to bang my head on
